Lane Service Company | Expert Plumbing Contractor in Kill Devil Hills, NC

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking for pipes in uninsulated or vulnerable areas of your home, such as crawl spaces or exterior walls common in our coastal architecture. We identify these at-risk sections and provide specific recommendations for insulation or heat tape, which is crucial for preventing the occasional freezes we experience here. Catching this early is the best way to avoid a burst pipe emergency.

During an inspection, our technicians meticulously examine all accessible pipe joints, connections under sinks, and around water heaters for signs of corrosion, mineral buildup, or hairline cracks. We use both visual checks and, when appropriate, pressure testing to find slow leaks that often go unnoticed in Kill Devil Hills homes. Finding and fixing a small joint leak early can prevent major water damage to your floors and walls.

We recommend an annual plumbing inspection for most homes in our area. The seasonal shifts and occasional harsh weather on the Outer Banks can stress plumbing systems. An annual check-up in the fall is especially wise to winterize your pipes, but a spring inspection can also assess any wear from the colder months. It's a small investment for peace of mind and protecting your home.
